As I was about to leave office last evening, the Post Laju man came with a parcel for me. I read the way bill it was from my lovely daughter, snow who is now working in Australia. Wow so many chocolates. All my favourites. Thanks darling. Love you so much dear. Even though we are miles apart, you sill care for your daddy. Due to the hot weather most of it had melted and cause it to be out of shape, but it does not matter. What matter is the love it represent.
Theme song from the great movie "Godfather" by Andy Williams
Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart I feel your words the tender trembling moment start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known
Wine colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights, when we are one
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make we'll live until we die My life is yours, and all because You came into my world with love so softly love
Wine colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights, when we are one
Speak softly love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make we'll live until we die My life is yours, and all because You came into my world with love So softly love

THE main stars and director of the locally-produced comedy-drama, The Kid from the Big Apple, were in Kuala Lumpur recently to promote the movie.
Malaysia-born director Jess Teong and her leading stars –veteran Hong Kong actor Tommy Tam (better known as Ti Lung), popular Hong Kong actress and TVB star Jessica Hester Hsuan as well as Malaysian child stars Sarah Tan Qin Lin and Jason Tan – attended the gala premiere of the movie on March 3 at GSC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
They also held a series of meet-and-greet sessions with fans in Ipoh and Penang over that weekend.
For the uninitiated, The Kid from the Big Apple which was shot entirely in Malaysia, has already gained critical acclaim and recognition in a few international film festivals.
At the 7th Macau International Movie Festival (Golden Lotus Award) last December, it nabbed four awards – best writing for Teong who also wrote the script, best actor for Tam, best supporting actress for Hsuan, and best newcomer for child star Sarah.
It was no easy feat, as the competition was tough and included heavy-hitters such as Wilson Yip’sIp Man 3 and Dante Lam’s To the Fore.
Besides the awards and recognition, this made-in-Malaysia production is also the first local movie to collaborate with international fast food chain McDonald’s (whose brand placement is very much evident in the movie).
At a recent press conference, Teong was asked what her thoughts were when coming up with the idea for this heart-warming comedy-drama.
She said: “In Malaysia and Asia, traditions are still very important and are constantly passed down to the next generation.
“But what actually makes traditions special are the people who teach us about them.
“When we reminisce about who taught us these traditions and [what we learnt from] them, it usually [evokes] a sweet … feeling and memory.”
Tam, who is well-known for his many roles in kung fu movies in the 1970s, only had praises for the director.
He said: “Teong took filming the movie very seriously, and was very meticulous even to the most minute detail. She wouldn’t even let a strand of hair be out of place.
“I knew this movie would be something special due to her dedication, and I admired how she did her best to make each scene as well-shot as possible.”
Tam hopes that everyone will watch the movie as it promotes family values and highlights the memorable adage “it doesn’t matter if it’s in the East or West, home is always the best”.
